Relead is an international program designed to equip you with skills to lead into the future.
Relead will be held from May 27 – June 01, 2014 at Bangalore, India.
Why Relead?
There is a crying need for new leadership, yet with a very limited understanding of it. Relead is our solution.
We initiated Relead with the belief that the problems of tomorrow cannot be solved by the frameworks of yesterday. To move to this new world requires a new way of leading – it requires the Leader to Relead.
The foundations of Relead are in psychology, philosophy, personal growth, management, ecology and systems thinking. It also uses an ontological approach to leadership – looking at the ‘being’ of a leader.
Relead will help you:
- build a deeper understanding of yourself : of your skills, strengths, beliefs and fears
- build greater meaning into your life : by aligning what you are doing with what you truly want
- deepen your leadership journey : by bringing you skills that take you to the ‘next level’ (next level being greater impact and being driven by greater purpose)
- gain the latest / most powerful skills and ideas in the domain of leadership : by working with IIM B and integrating the most recent and meaningful ideas in the domain
- build lifelong connections : through our alumni program, we will work with you on a lifelong journey of leadership
Do you want to take up the exciting opportunities created by a changing global dynamic? Are you keen to take your leadership to the next level – one that helps you facilitate change in your life, your organizations and nations? Do you want to rethink and articulate your own leadership philosophy? Then, Relead is for you!

THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to the Sunway campus.
Leaders are vital. As the cliché goes, people join the company but leave to get
away from the boss. Yes. Good leaders are hard to come by. Their DNA can
include: sharp intellect; good people skills; superb energy; strategically curious;
and personally humble. That’s a rare combination of talents. My experience points
to favour the impression that leaders are first born, then, made. Ways have been
developed through coaching to unlock people’s potential, by helping them
to learn how to learn. To develop the three core skills of leadership: influencing,
improving, and listening. This art of self-discovery was first developed by the Greek
philosopher Socrates and has since been renewed, in the belief that we are more
like acorns, with all the potential to become a magnificent oak tree
– given motivation, encouragement, and opportunity.
Good luck.

THE SENIOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Welcome to the Asia Leadership Youth Camp!
Sunway Education Group
Dr. Elizabeth Lee
Senior Executive Director, Sunway Education Group
With innovation accelerating on a global scale, the
rapidly changing world is reshaping and changing
the way we work, particularly the way we teach and
interact with our young people. As we welcome our
newest batch of young leaders, I feel prompted to be
a little creative in my message with a verse from the
not-so-new song, Katy Perry’s “Fireworks”.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep six feet under?
Screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?
This song was released five years ago and emerged
as a great hit which captured many young hearts
especially those with a desire to achieve greatness.
You may disagree, but I feel that the lyrics of this
song are an epitome of your true self today.
There may be times that people underestimate you
because of your age. Don't be discouraged. The fact
that you have signed up for the Asia Leadership
Youth Camp is reflective of the drive in you – you
know that "there’s still a chance for you" – to outgrow
yourself and take your place among the future
leaders of our nation.
The Sunway Education Group (SEG) and the
Jeffrey Cheah Foundation recognise this – the
endless possibilities and potential in you as the
leaders of the future. We are collaborating with the
Asia Leadership Institute (ALI) once again to present
you this five-day amazing and enlightening
Asia Leadership Youth Camp.
In this camp, you will meet and learn about
Leadership from an impressive line-up of Harvard
speakers and facilitators. Our wish is to help
immerse you in the Harvard model of leadership and
equip you with skills, courage and confidence. We
aim to ignite the light in you and make you shine.
In time, we hope you will rise to be a leader who will
be able to light up our future like fireworks.
I wish you a fruitful and enriching learning
experience at Sunway International School.
Thank you and God bless.

Dear Delegates,
Asia Leadership Institute,
Center for Asia Leadership Initiatives
Samuel Kim
Asia Leadership Institute
Center for Asia Leadership Initiatives
As President of the Asia Leadership Trek at the Asia
Leadership Institute, I am honored to welcome you
to this program. This program marks the fourth time
we have visited Sunway University and we will
ensure to make it the best one yet.
Our theme for this year’s high school program,
"Values Into Action," stems from the rationale that
every individual must embark on one's own learning
journey that can help him or her examine one's own
values. It is only then that their true character and
calling can begin to emerge. Success also means
that when we face the challenges in our life –
personal, professional, or communal – that we
always have the unique opportunity to make a
difference. We are able to turn downsides into
upsides and contribute to make our world a better
place.
All of our fellows, from the Harvard Kennedy School,
Harvard Graduate School of Education,
Stanford Graduate School of Business, and the
Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, have had
the privilege of undergoing our own leadership
journey by visiting communities across Asia.
Through mentorship, inspirational stories on
leadership, discussions on best practices, as well as
capacity building workshops on the topics of
change leadership and social-profit initiatives,
namely entrepreneurship, innovation in education,
and social responsibility, we seek to humbly
contribute to Asian communities' capacity to face
and solve its challenges.
ALI's ultimate goal is to raise the most capable and
ethical individuals; help organizations play
leadership roles in their communities; and
disseminate world-leading best practices and
instructive tools. Our programs incorporate active
learning models through the methods of
engagement, simulation, experience, and dialogue.
I hope you take full advantage of this learning
experience and use it as a stepping stone to impact
your own society in positive ways.

VALUES INTO Action
Introduction
How will Malaysia’s young people lead in the 21st century?
High school students are at a juncture in which their decisions, attitudes, and habits play a
critical role in shaping the rest of their lives. Those growing up in Malaysia face particular
challenges as their society evolves and foundational values face a more modern, global context.
Leadership begins with self-awareness of one’s personality, character, and values. It then
translates into personal growth and one’s ability to work with others to tackle common
challenges whether it be in the family, school, or community.
“Values into Action” is the theme for the Asia Leadership Institute’s Summer
Fellowship Program 2015. The program has been designed and adapted for high school
students, college students, new graduates, and young professionals and features workshops in
leadership, public speaking, and practical skills; seminars on professional development and
applying to overseas universities; as well as special talks and networking opportunities. The
program aims to prepare and empower young students for the leadership challenges they will
face in their personal, school, and communal life, as well as help them translate their
values into action, and that action into meaningful and material value for others.

Special Talks
The Role of Rejection
How It Saved Me $135,000 & Forever Changed My Life
The sting of rejection is seldom sweet. However, it's not always a negative experience and oftentimes
crucial in the development of self. Sharing a series of true life stories, John Lee will speak on some
of his biggest rejections and how it dramatically altered his life.
JOHN LEE
Thinking Creatively About Communications
Musicians are trained to be self-critiquing for their own individual improvement. When put with a
group (chamber music, chamber orchestra, orchestra), the communication skills required for
improving the ensemble are balanced between a supportive / collegial environment and critique to
improve upon a shared artistic vision. Furthermore, music provides a way to communicate without
saying anything - by a gesture, nod, eye-contact, or musical phrase played a certain way,
musicians use the art to communicate with one another. Building from ideas from the
Group Learning, Arts of Communication, and Public Narrative courses, the talk aims to provoke
thinking about what defines effective communications, specifically the relationship between verbal
speaking and interpreting non-verbal actions.

Designing Your Life
Why not apply the design thinking process to problems and concerns you have in life? Based off of
the course from the Stanford design school, this talk will take a deeper look into what it means to
design your life starting with optimizing partnerships to gratitude and mindfulness. The design
process offers tools with which one can reframe their own concerns in order to better optimize their
life outlook and choices. These tools aid in long term goal setting, career aspirations, and how to
prototype on a daily basis.

Workshop Series
Leadership Practice: Adaptive Leadership
Difficult problems that a student faces in group projects, on a sports team, or in any aspect in life,
are often difficult to solve solely by the person in charge. It requires the creativity, commitment, and
courage of everyone involved in the problem. In this workshop, participants will have understood the
difference between technical and adaptive challenges – and have applied that to their own
grassroots experience and context; understood the difference between leadership and authority;
have experienced how uncertainty often calls for authority while leadership is needed; and will have
encountered some basic strategies on how to lead in uncertain situations. Using case materials and
an experiential case-in-point methodology, this workshop will expose and train students to a powerful
way of thinking and acting when addressing the leadership challenges in their life.
FATON LIMANI
Leadership Communications: Public Speaking
Effectively communicating as a leader means engaging those around you through the use of stories
that binds and motivates people through common cause. It is firstly, a “story of self,” communicating
who I am: my values, my experience, why I do what I do. Secondly, it is a “story of us”
communicating who we are: our shared values, our shared experience, and why we do what we do.
And lastly, it is a “story of now” articulating the present as a moment of challenge, choice, and hope.
Based on research and courses conducted at the Harvard Kennedy School on the leadership
frameworks and communication techniques of the most effective leaders – this workshop trains
participants in essential leadership principles, while allowing them to practice proven
communication techniques, in the end equipping them with a powerful public narrative toolkit.
Leadership Practice: Transformational Leadership
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate,”
– Carl Jung. Self-awareness is the foundation for a fulfilling life, a growth mindset, and an effective
leadership style. In this workshop, participants will learn how individual development, motivation,
and mentorship can be tied together to improve leadership development. By identifying what is
holding oneself back from achieving one’s goals, participants will also gain an awareness of one’s
own values. Participants will undergo in-depth processes to understand oneself better. In the
process, of improving and then transforming oneself, the participant will then learn how to undergo
strategic conversations and work with others to undergo change. Participants will then gain an
authentic, transformational leadership outlook, approach, and style offering an opportunity to
transform their own leadership path.

complex, multidisciplinary, open-ended problems that don’t come in multiple-choice formats or
ready-made standard solutions. Through lectures, strategic games, simulations, and case
discussions, this workshop will enable participants to learn the mindsets and practice the skills
needed to walk into professional settings and tackle complex problems. Individuals will find ways to
uncover the purpose and possibility hidden in problems; they will then learn steps to diagnose the
group dynamics they are operating in; they will then learn how to strategically approach others with
a mindset towards creating value rather than claiming value; lastly, they will deploy themselves
through purposeful communications that mobilizes action.

Innovation: Design Thinking and Innovation
Design thinking is a practical and creative problem solving approach, with the intent of an improved
future result. The approach, rooted in the most innovative companies of Silicon Valley, has been
applied to products, services, spaces, and interactive experiences. Through interactive activities,
discussions, and mini-projects, this workshop will not only give an overview of the design thinking
process, but also have students learn by doing. They will understand that design should always start
with the end user and then identification of the unique problem; create a reflection and conversation
around the design process; get students to understand the value of the process; and develop a bias
towards action. Participants should also experience that design is a constantly iterative process while
touching on all five steps throughout the lifecycle.

Practical Skills: Disciplined Entrepreneurship
When we think of entrepreneurship, we think of starting a business. But entrepreneurship begins as
a way of thinking strategically about any challenge. This has been the starting point on how the most
successful entrepreneurs have developed the most innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing
problems. In this workshop, students will engage in case study discussions and lectures to build
contextualized and experiential knowledge in aspects of entrepreneurship and intrapraneurship:
mission and vision, positioning, funding and resources, as well as impact and measurement.
Crucially, participants will develop relevant skillsets in these areas through hands-on activities and
simulations. At the end of this workshop, participants will be better equipped to approach and lead
a new entrepreneurial venture as an independent start-up or within a large organization.

Practical Skills: The Practice of Negotiation
Negotiation is often thought of as being in the realm of political and diplomatic leaders. But
negotiation is a skill for one’s everyday life. This workshop introduces the fundamentals of
negotiation analysis and practice and will help participants develop a set of mindsets that will help
them better analyze and prepare more effectively for any negotiation. Through participation in
simulations, participants will have the opportunity to practice their powers of communication and
persuasion, and to experiment with a variety of negotiation tactics and strategies. The aim of the
workshop is to provide the participant with a set of concepts and tools that they can apply
immediately, in effect, helping them to approach situations in personal and professional life more
intentionally and intelligently.
